Friendlymoose photocontest entry: Green

My immediate thought for this contest was "well that's easy, I went to Ireland this year" and it's difficult to take a photo there that isn't 90% green.
But then I thought that's a little boring and I should think outside the box a little bit.

You know what isn't green very often? The sky!

My entry to this week's #FPC

My entry is form May last year when I had hours advanced warning of an incoming solarstorm thanks to the space nerds at spaceweatherlive.com.
I camped out in a field at 21:00GMT and that image was snapped around 23:00GMT just as other colours were starting to join the green.

Another hour and the sky absolutely exploded in colour. Better than any aurora display that I had previously seen in both Iceland and Alaska. And this was a 30 second walk from my home in East England!

I hope you've enjoyed my entry and I look forward to seeing other outside the box entries to this photo contest!

It was very eerie! There's something spooky about not being able to see something with your eyes, but it appears clearly on photographs. I'm sure horror movies have referenced this before!
